However, its songs of glory are overshadowed by myths that dilute the use of microlearning in corporate training.While many think it’s just a fad that’s bound to fizzle out soon, many other L&D practitioners are making it out to be the panacea for all training requirements. While both arguments hold little water, organizations looking to implement microlearning in their training strategy need to strike the right balance by incorporating microlearning assets at strategic places in their training framework.

The pace of technology is continually accelerating and it shows no sign of slowing. Students today must prepare for a world where lifelong learning will be essential in order to keep up. STEM courses and content present unique challenges, so how can we prepare students to compete in a world-wide digital age and how can we make digital education more effective? Join Dr. Paul Woolner, Organizational and Learning Scientist, Dr. Steven Furino, Assistant Dean for Online Studies, University of Waterloo, and James Cooper, CEO of DigitalEd for this webinar, where they will discuss the tools and strategies for successful learning.
